I have more than 10 years of experience as a helping professional in residential, inpatient, academic, and community settings. I am experienced in general counselling with specific interests and expertise in women's issues, relaxation therapy, stress management, coping with anxiety and depression, the social and emotional impacts of a cancer diagnosis, memory and attention problems for post-chemo cancer survivors, grief and loss, and couple's counselling. I typically work with youth and adults over age 16; however, I am experienced working with school-aged children and I have specialized training in treating children with anxiety. I am also available for consultation, collaboration, and workshop facilitation on a variety of topics including but not limited to:
Managing Symptoms of Anxiety
Coping with Depression
Setting Healthy Boundaries
Communication Skills
Mental Health and Self Care
Supporting Students with Test Anxiety
Relaxation Strategies/Stress Management
I adopt a client-centered approach while using cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, and emotion-focused techniques to support my clients in moving toward goals for improved emotional wellness.
